Inserting Flash Video Error
I am using CS3 and trying to insert a .flv file that is on a
remote server and I keep getting this error:
/Scripts/ - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder
/Scripts/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be
a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on
the server and the server is properly configured.
Scripts\AC_RunActiveContent.js - user cancelled
The file exists and I have permission to access it. I can't
figure our why because I can upload the .mp3 files that are in the
same folder as the .flv file without a problem.
code:

Thanks in advance for your help!
When you insert flash into DW pages, DW creates a folder for
you in the root
called Scripts with the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in it.
This JavaScript
enables ActiveX content to run without sending up nag alerts
to visitors.
Since your web page is looking for this file, you need to
upload the Scripts
folder to your server.

I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
"While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
with an OK button.
If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?
maylandmacAre you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

Update for Insert Flash Video command
I looked at DW for the very first time, having recently
upgraded all my hardware and software. I now have the full Master
Collection - very exciting. Opened DW with great trepidation after
a lifetime with my beloved GoLive and was confronted with the
strong recommendation to do an update to protect against
insecurities arising with the Insert Flash Video Command.
Eventually I printed out the instructions provided in the technote
and followed them to the letter. All went well until the
verification stage. The technote tells me that the updated files
should have a creation date of 15th January 2008. Mine was 9th
January. I just want to know if this matters? Do I need to repeat
the whole procedure as the instructions tell me I should if the
files are not updated. In fact they have updated but just not to
the correct date. And why should it turn out any differently if I
do it again? I am puzzled.
I have obviously never used the Insert Flash video command
since I've never even used DW itself so maybe I didn't even need to
do the update at all in the first place anyway. But I thought I'd
better, in case I used the command at some time in the future,
although the possibility of me using something so technical seems
remote at this stage. (I am yet to learn Flash.)
I updated both DW and Contribute as suggested in spite of not
even knowing what Contribute is for yet.The "Security Update Available" still shows on my welcome
screen, even after updating it. -
Insert flash video? Won't play
Any tips on inserting Flash video into a project in Captivate 4?
I can get video to appear an play in Preview, but after publishing, the video doesn't appear and the slide forwards.
(Also, there seems to be a conssitent problme where preview is inaccurate.)The videos are in the same folder as the project, and they appear in the published folder.
Tried path 2 ways:
myvideo.flv
/myvideo.flv
Neither made a difference.
There are 3 videos on this slide --- could that be a problem? -
Hi all,
I know this question has been asked before, but I've tried
all the solutions offered and none worked.
I am using the command "Insert -->Flash Video" to insert a
video on a web page (using DW8). Plays locally, but not after
upload. Scripts folder and both the skin and
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf file are uploaded to the appropriate
places. I've tried on multiple computers and in multiple browsers
and can't figure why it won't work.
Here it is on a
test page. Should play in box and flv file is only a little
over 1MB.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated. I'm ready to pull
my hair out.
Thanks in advance.Guessing here but, is there supposed to be a blabla .flv file
on the server
or in your code?

Inserting Flash Video - Syntax Error
Hello,
I used the Insert menu to add a flash video file to my page. There is some kinf of syntax error on this line:
swfobject.registerObject("FLVPlayer");
I am validating for HTML4.
The video plays in preview, but not when uplaoded. Any ideas?
MikeI am so embarassed. The problem? my extension was .FLV, not .flv. I changed the case and everythng works now. I had no idea that extensions are case-sensitive.
Thanks so much for all your help. Like I said, I am embarassed and apologize that I wasted your time.
But I do wonder why case didn't matter when previewing. Could that be a domain server setting?

Problem inserting Flash video into DW CS3 template
I would like to insert some flash video into an editable
region inside a DW CS3 template. The template I am using seems to
work for literally hundreds of other pages I have made (none of
which, incidentally, have any media of any kind in them).
I have created the template and then an editable region and
now want to insert the flash video in that editable region. All
goes well until I hit the OK button. then I get this error--Making
this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator The change will be discarded.
Can anyone suggest how I might over come this error??
Thx.
JaneThe problem is the detection option in the video insertion
dialog. If you
disable that option, you will not get the error.
This is a problem because the detection routine requires a
modification to
the <body> tag (insertion of an onload event) which you
cannot easily do in
a template child page.
If you really must have the detection, then you can copy and
past the load
call from a dummy (non-templated) page on which you have also
done the same
insertion. Post back with that page's body tag code, and I'll
show you
how....

Using Dreamweaver 8 I have created a site with PHP/MySQL that
is similar to YouTube. I am using the database to store the
filename for each uploaded FLV. I have a search page which will
return results listing page, and then go to a details page when one
of the results is clicked. So, on my details page, I want to insert
an FLV player using the Insert>Media>Flash Video function in
Dreamweaver. This brings up the window where you browse for your
FLV file and select a skin, etc. When I click on Browse, another
window pops up which allows you to navigate to the file, but also
gives you the option to Select file name from Data Sources. When I
choose data sources and select the appropriate field in my
recordset which contains the file to be played and click Choose,
and then then OK on the previous window, I get an error that my URL
cannot contain any special characters.
I thought this could work the same way as an image place
holder.
What am I doing wrong? Can I have an empty FLV player on a
page which gets the correct file to play from a MySQL databse with
PHP?> (Insert>Media>Flash Video)
this requires a .flv file, not .swf

Inserting Flash video in Dreamweaver
This is my first time using Dreamweaver and it's been a blast but I get to the point of needing to insert a Flash video and it gives me a message: "Making this change would require changing a code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
Is the template the index page I use as my template for other pages?
What code is it that I need to change to insert the video?Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

Hi
When I try to insert a video into a web page, I keep getting
the message 'The URL cannot contain spaces or special characters.
Change the path or file name and try again.' BUT there are no
spaces or special characters, and the same message appears with any
video I try to insert. Is this a problem because I am using the
trial version of Dreamweaver, or is it another issue???Post a link to the page that is not working, please.

Hi,
I have an embedded FLV in a Dreamweaver page, inserted using
the
Insert > Media > Flash Video menu item and using the
Clear Skin 1 skin. Everything's been working well, but now
the client would like the movie to start MUTED with the option for
the user to turn the mute button off (or turn volume on).
I've tried using FlashVars (value="volume=0") and that
doesn't seem to work.
Is there some easy way of doing this or do I have to go back
to Flash and do it there?> (Insert>Media>Flash Video)
this requires a .flv file, not .swf

When I Insert a Flash Video the second drop down box is
titled Skin. I have 9 options, 3 Clear, 3 Corona, 3 Halo. The first
two types add the Play Bar on to the video which shows when
scrolled over. The third adds it to the bottom.
The Halo option is what I want, a play bar at the bottom,
however this option seems to also a black line sized border just
outside the whole of the video. I can not seem to find a way to
stop this. What folder are these play bars located in? Could I add
more to it, or use flash to modify the existing skin to change
colour or remove that border or just plain make my own?
ThanksYes. All in my flash folder. Skin is call SkinUnderAll.swf. I did notice in Dremweaver that this file does not show up in the code with the rest of the video code. When I add the video swf do I still need to add the skin file also. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site
Hi -
I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm going to: Insert - Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle. But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software). This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others. This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
thanks!
Stacey StanleyThis could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?
